I've been living in Inwood for over 4 years and I'm very happy I found this quiet gem in Manhattan. Understand that there are 2 distinct sides of Inwood with Broadway dividing peaceful living with a not so nice side east of Broadway.
I work in midtown and commute everyday. It takes me exactly 45 mins on the A train door to door. Not bad. The #1 train is another option. Target is an easy walk up into the Bronx across the Harlem River.There is the Farmer's Market every Saturday on Isham St. Inwood Hill Park is absolutely beautiful and for the most part safe.
Rent is decent for being in Manhattan and the apartments are much larger than downtown.
Broadway between 207th Street and 218th Street has recently sprung up with some great, trendy eating spots, coffee houses and wine bars.
The west side of Broadway is great for young families, professionals and singles.
